Tests by Lhmac, literature

Tests

Laura wasn’t very good at …. well, she’d say anything, but she was well-known for being more than slightly on the pessimistic side of realist, and there was no doubt that everyone and their dog would be telling her at that point that there had to be *something* she was good at.Like singing, she guessed.Anyway, Laura was never very good at logic puzzles and finding patterns. But she found herself doing an IQ test nonetheless. The last time she had done an IQ test was in psychology class, but she didn’t think that one quite counted since they had very little time to do it. She couldn’t remember her score, anyway.Why was she doing an IQ test ...

After Work by Lhmac, literature

After Work

Laura’s ride home from work was uneventful, as usual. Why the three lanes on the 100km/h highway were going 60km/h, 75km/h and 90km/h was beyond frustrating, though.The wind was usually a relief for her as she rode in the heat of the Australian summer, but this day was hot and dry, when she had her visor up, hot wind blasted Laura in the face, providing her with no comfort whatsoever.Laura tentatively took off her bike gear when she got home. She’d been looking to getting home, putting on swimmers and going to the pool all day, but she wasn’t exactly great at doing the things she planned to do. Instead Laura played an app game on her table...

Morning Again by Lhmac, literature

Morning Again

Adult-ing is hard.That was Laura’s catchphrase for the morning. She ignored her 6am alarm, as usual. But woke up just before her 7am alarm went off. She turned on her laptop to watch some anime.There was a knock on the door at about 7.20. It was Laura’s mum, asking if she was awake. Well, that was to be expected. Yesterday she had been out of her room twice already by this time.The 7.30 alarm hadn’t gone off when Laura closed her laptop and finally exited her room, having to wait as her brother wheeled his luggage through the hallway. She said hi to her dog, April, who was wandering around the kitchen.“Your feet are wet, Bubba.” Laura excl...

First day by Lhmac, literature

Literature

First day

Laura was woken by the sound of a phone ringing.It was an unfamiliar ring tone – she’d gotten a new phone, and she hadn’t bothered to change the settings to anything other than the default – so it took a little while to register what the sound was.She picked up her phone and looked at it. The caller ID said BARBARA. Laura groaned inwardly. Barbara was a co-worker in the Woolworths Stocktake Team, and they were supposed to carpool to work together, but Laura had excused herself from work for the next month. It seemed no one had told Barbara.It was 3.30am, and Laura checked around the sides of the unfamiliar phone for the volume button to si...

The Facility (3) by Lhmac, literature

Literature

The Facility (3)

Part 1 Part 2 After all of the tests, and more questions that Minako knew she wasn't coherent enough to answer, she was presented with a bowl of some yellow-brown mush to eat. It tasted better than it looked, and when she had finished, she ignored the lack of bed or blanket and curled up in her corner to sleep. She dreamt of the little girl, standing above her as she lay in her concrete box. After a few moments of the girl standing over her silently, Minako unfurled herself and stared up into the girl's grey-green eyes. She hadn't had the chance to see her eye colour in the midst of the earlier situation, and there was something un...

The Facility (2)

Part 1 At a point she tried her best not to remember, Minako passed out from the pain. She awoke staring at the grey ceiling again, but this time when she tried to move, her body responded to her commands. Sitting up, she twisted around, swinging her legs onto the floor and hoping they’d hold her weight. Her view of the room was just as boring as the roof, the single orange bulb barely lighting the corners of the concrete-walled, grey-ceilinged room. Minako’s head pounded and she swayed slightly on her feet as she stumbled to the metal door. “Hey!” she called out, banging on it with her fist. “Hey! Whatever you want from me, have...

The Facility (1)

Minako kicked down her stand, removed her helmet and swung herself off her motorcycle, running a hand along the yellow paint as she left it in front of the huge iron gate. She spun her backpack into her hands to withdraw her package and clipboard as walked.‘The Facility’ was the name on the closed gate. According to her notes, this was the place, and they should be expecting her delivery, but everything was shut up.Through the open pedestrian entrance, Minako peered at the administration building. The setting sun was sitting atop the single-storey structure and squashed between the two large warehouses behind, making her squint. She saw no...

Seraphine (2)

Uros stopped on a hill above the town and pulled the sword from its sheath. He wasn’t sure what he expected, but it certainly looked like a normal sword. He studied the blade and noticed writing etched lightly into it. He couldn’t make out any words, though, they were in some language he had never seen. He thought it might be some kind of spell, and maybe finding a mage would help him decipher them.He swung the sword around a couple of times, testing its weight. It sliced through the air like an extension of his arm, and Uros smiled, feeling the right-ness and triumph of finally finding the sword he was destined to find.He swung the swor...

Seraphine (1)

Uros was born on an ordinary day. There were no massive celestial movements or big historical events as one would expect happen on the day one with an extraordinary destiny came into the world. There was not a celebration in the streets, or even within his own family, really. Uros’s mother had been in hiding from the man who had given him life, and so when he was born, a hushed silence came upon the room of the house his mother had taken shelter.But though no one spoke a word of his birth, within a few days, a mage came to the house.Marion, the owner of the house, and Uros’s future aunt, was flustered at so powerful a visitor. Mages wore t...

The Studying Obsession

Twilight Sparkle had always wanted to go to the Summer Sun Celebration to see Princess Celestia raise the sun. When she was a little foal, she had heard stories from older fillies and colts about how great it was, how it filled their hearts with warmth to see their princess bring the bright ball of light and heat into the sky.As the day approached that she would finally be able to see it happen in her home city of Canterlot, Twilight became increasingly excited about it. Her parents had bought her a calendar, and she crossed off the days as they passed. As time went on, she felt that the days moved by too slowly, and she split each day int...

Where Do Ideas Come From?

0 min read

Ideas are like a hairball in a shower drain. Or vomit. Or anything less disgusting you would prefer to think about that is a mixture of all kinds of stuff. Like bubble-and-squeak, or a smoothie made from whatever’s been in your fridge for more than a week. Every day, we’re bombarded with information. That’s what an idea is: it’s life, it’s the everyday objects, situations and ‘what if’s that get stuffed into a mind on a daily basis.The brain will keep the bits it finds intriguing or it decides would be useful information for later. But there’s only so much room for things in a mind, so it’s going to connect some things to others, blending ...

Journaling the journey

0 min read

Uh ... I don't know where that title came from. I just wanted to write something interesting there.I'm gonna do here what I did on my blog: say blah, blah, blah. I've been writing fanfiction lately. Go here http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8597131/1/The-Studying-Obsession or here http://www.fimfiction.net/story/56793/The-Studying-Obsession to check it out.And here's a first-person stream of consciousness idea I started writing recently. The urge to eat the flesh of a human, that's something that takes getting used to. It's what I imagine being addicted to a drug is like, because, in life, I never had that experience myself. Not even the soft st...

MLP: earth ponies vs. unicorns and pegasi

0 min read

Apologies to all those who follow my dA and aren't interested in reading about My Little Pony. I guess you should just ignore this little bit of Pony reflection.As season three draws ever nearer, I've been thinking about ponies. Earth ponies in particular, and how so many treat them as 'the lesser species' of pony. I've seen fics where unicorn supremacists treat earth ponies badly, or where pegasi think of earth ponies as a lesser species, but I'm going to give another argument as to which tribe of ponies, exactly, is the lesser of the three types.And I'm going to preface this by saying that my OC pony is a unicorn because I'm a sucker for...

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed comment on my story The Jealous Brother!

I quickly browsed thru a handful of your stories. Based on the quality, I recommend that you consider publishing to www.wattpad.com/ which is a community specifically for writers. I think you'll find that you get much more engagement + feedback there than dA, which is primarily for visual artists (and a great home for your photos).

Thanks, that's really flattering. I've used AuthorsDen before, but my lack of artistic talent to make a cover is kind of daunting on sites like those, and it takes a lot of effort to get it uploaded in the first place, I mostly make use of my own blog, then try to get a couple of extra views and comments here on dA, or just post my experimental stuff or half-formed thoughts for fun. I'm mostly a hobby writer, so I don't put much effort into making my work more ... professional, I guess.

I've checked out Wattpad. It seems more casual than AuthorsDen, so I'll try uploading stuff there. Actually, the cover creator is a pretty awesome thing that'll make me feel better about lacking one. I haven't had the chance yet to look around your gallery. Do you use Wattpad much?

ARstories

Feb 11, 2016

I haven't used Wattpad myself, but have read about it and heard that it's pretty good.

Only about 5% of dA accounts are writers. This is really more a community focused on the visual artists, with an emphasis on fanfiction.

My content is pretty niche - focused on age regression, where characters get younger in the story. The best known mainstream story in this vein is the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. There are a handful of groups on dA that focus on this type of content, so it makes sense for me to publish where the audience is.

Feb 12, 2016

Ok. But I'm not sure why you'd think that someone who has been writing for as long as I have isn't aware of the pros and cons of using dA? I already know it's mostly a visual medium, but I use it anyway. I've been using this site for 4 years, and I have found communities I like here.
